"So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
(Matthew 21:21-22, NIV) |

Shadowed Remembrances
Written by Joanne M. Kerzmann-Troppello
Publish America www.publishamerica.com
ISBN 141371904X
$14.95 Pgs. 125
Shadowed Remembrances guides the reader effortlessly through suspense and human emotion, making for an exciting and satisfying read. Joanne M. Kerzmann shares with us a unique writing style with vivid imagery and impressive character development.
Detective Torianna Silverman spends her days analyzing fingerprints for crime scenes. After having suffered from her own childhood trauma and losing her parents, she finds comfort in that line of work. During a visit to her old hometown in Pennsylvania, she faces old ghosts and renews a romance with Nick Keyes – the County Coroner – and someone she once had strong feelings for.
At the same time, a murder investigation is being examined more closely, thanks to an observant housekeeper who refuses to believe her employer’s wife, Sherry Wilkins, committed suicide. She hands over some sort of a computer disc to the authorities that may hold the key to the woman’s untimely death, while putting her own life at risk. With both Nick and Torianna working on the case, they become a stronger unit and many overlooked pieces of the puzzle start to come together. What is on the disc that could have been so devastating that a woman had to die over it?
The author works the scene changes well with enough tension to keep you turning the pages, and wanting to find out the truth behind all the secrets of the murder. She also blends the character’s need for spiritual balance, guidance, and peace beautifully into the story, in a very subtle and refreshing way. There is no preachy undertone, instead it allows the character to strengthen and deal with her haunting past.
Shadowed Remembrances is filled with action, romance, and mystery. From the first chapter it grabbed my attention and didn’t let up. It goes by quickly yet stays with you long after you’ve finished. Joanne Kerzmann is an author to keep your eye on.
